Bishop Kevin Rhoades, the new Chairman of the USCCB Doctrinal Committee in his radio program 1 makes the same doctrinal error as Cardinal Luiz Ladaria sj at the Placuet Deo Press Conference.
They both have suggested that Vatican Council II mentions there are known people saved outside the Church with 'elements of sanctification and truth' (LG 8). So they will not affirm the traditional exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church.
We now know that the text of LG 8 does not say that there are known Catholics saved outside the Church. This has to be wrongly inferred by the two prelates.
Secondly there can be no practical examples of LG in 2018 which would be an objective exception to traditional extra ecclesiam nulla salus.
Thirdly common sense tells us that LG 8 refers to a hypothetical and speculative case . So it is not an exception or relevant to the teaching on outside the Church there is no salvation, as it was known, for exampple, to the Magisterium and missionaries in the 16th century.
For Bishop Rhoades and Cardinal Ladaria, LG 8 is ' a development' in Vatican Council II with reference to the dogma EENS. Since they assume that LG 8 refers to known non Catholics saved outside the Church.Only in this way it becomes a development.
The same error was made by Pope Benedict XVI in Avvenire in March 2016. He said that EENS was no more the same as it was in the 16th century. There was a development with Vatican Council II.-Lionel Andrades

When Bishop Kevin Rhoades infers that Lumen Gentium and Nostra Aetate say we know of non Catholics saved outside the Church it is irrational and heretical: Vatican Council II does not contradict traditional extra ecclesiam nulla salus
